Are there any other apartments in California, MD than Wildewood? Is Leonardtown a nice place to live? How are the apartments in either place? I was told to stay away from Waldorf and Lexington Park...
I am from the Midwest and will be moving there soon. Just want to have an idea during my apartment search.
For me, the Leonardtown area is much more desirable than the Lexington Park and California areas. I guess California is a little better than Lexington Park, but it's really just a better section of the same congested area.
In the Leonardtown area, you still have relatively quick access to the things you need (e.g. shopping, food, the job centers), but you don't have to deal with the congestion as much. There's more breathing room. Whenever I drive into Lexington Park (and even California to a smaller degree) I feel like a rat stuck in a cage - I can't wait to get out of the area and back to 'freedom'. But then again, different people have different sensibilities, so some people prefer that area.
I would say this - if you're more of a city person, you may prefer the California area and if you're more of a rural person, you may prefer the Leonardtown area. (And by Leonardtown area I don't mean the actual town, but rather central, western St. Mary's County.)
